What is Arc Perp?

Arc Perp (a working name) is a memecoin launchpad on Arc, Circle's chain, where every coin ends up backed by a leveraged position on a real stock, index or commodity — Nvidia, Tesla, the S&P 500, gold — and nobody, not even us, can ever pull the liquidity.

You launch a coin in one transaction. It trades instantly in a normal Uniswap pool against USDC. Once it has traded enough, it bonds: its liquidity is re-paired to a tracker of the stock you picked, at up to 5×. From then on your coin's floor moves with the stock.

Not live yet. The contracts are written and tested but not deployed on Arc. Until the Architecture page lists addresses, treat any address presented as Arc Perp's as unverified.

For creators

  • No launch fee. You pay gas and a $1 minimum opening buy of your own coin — coins you keep. That is the whole cost.
  • Everything in USDC, gas included. On Arc the dollar is also the gas token, so a wallet holding a few USDC can launch. There is no other coin to hold, for gas or for anything else.
  • 0.7% of every trade, forever. Every swap pays the pool's 1% fee and 70% of it is yours. Claim it whenever you like. It never expires.
  • You pick the stock and the multiple. Long or short, 1× to 5× on every market listed today.

For traders

  • One honest pool. The whole supply — 1,000,000,000 coins — sits in a single Uniswap V3 pool quoted in USDC. The price you see is the price you can exit at.
  • No tax. Zero on buys, zero on sells. The only cost is the pool's 1% fee, and it is in the quote before you sign.
  • Tradable by anything, instantly. Telegram bots, aggregators, wallets: one hop through the standard Uniswap router, from the very first block.
  • A rug is impossible. The contract holding the liquidity has no withdraw function. Not "locked for a year" — the code that could withdraw simply does not exist.

The twist

Once a coin's own trading has put $15,000 of USDC into its pool, the protocol bonds it. In one transaction that USDC buys a leveraged tracker of the stock — NVDAx5, say — and the coin is re-paired to it at the same dollar price. Your tokens do not move. What changes is what stands behind them: from then on, when Nvidia moves 1%, the coin's backing moves about 5%, even on a day nobody trades the coin.

The position behind a tracker is held on edgeX, an order-book perpetuals exchange, in an account kept for that tracker by the protocol's hedge wallet. How that works, and what it asks you to trust, is spelled out in The hedge book.

How it goes

  1. LAUNCH                 2. TRADE                    3. BOND
  one transaction,          one USDC pool,              $15,000 of backing reached:
  $1 opening buy,           no tax, any bot,            liquidity re-paired to NVDAx5,
  liquidity locked forever  0.7% of every swap to you   floor now moves with the stock
